Mike Glennon is awful. I don't understand how he's being hyped up as a potential #1 overall. He can't read coverages, makes some terrible decisions, has terrible pocket presence, and accuracy is average. The only thing he really has going for him is a solid arm, but you don't draft a QB #1 overall just because he has a good arm (I'm looking at you JaMarcus).

It isn't as bad as most people are making it out to be. There is no Luck or RG3 type prospect, but someone will separate themselves from the pack before too long.

Remember, it's only November. There will be a viable #1 overall QB in this class like almost every other, whether it be Tyler Wilson or Mike Glennon (ugh) or someone else.

Someone separating themselves from the pack doesn't make a class any better, as being the shiniest turd is relatively meaningless.

Overall, I don't think its a horrible crop of quarterbacks at all. Barkley, Smith, Wilson, hey maybe even Glennon all have positive attributes that indicate they could be good to great NFL quarterbacks. But they also all have a fair bit of negatives. I don't doubt at all some of the quarterbacks would go high, but in a list of overall prospect rankings, none of these guys would be at the top for me, which I think this is the same general sentiment that everyone has. There are decent quarterback prospects, but that's it.

Murray being hinted at as a guy who could jump to the number 1 pick is comical.

A junior QB or 2 will declare and take advantage of this....say someone from UGA?

Murray shouldnt even consider the NFL until he plays good agianst a team with a pulse on defense. He will get his chance to prove that one agianst with a national title spot on the line vs bama. Murray should be taken in the first round he is more like a 3rd round type QB

Yeah, every year the haters come out and throw dirt at the current crop, even last year, plenty of posters took their shots at Luck and RG111, a minimum of 3 QB's will get drafted in round 1 with Geo Smith assured of going top 5, Barkley, top 10 and Glennon 1st round. Will any of them be stars, that will be decided in the pros, not by anybody commenting in here.
Pro scouts will say this is an average class at worst with a lot of upside depending on who declares.

And every year we get guys coming on here to tell us that we hate every QB class, and that Mark Sanchez and Blaine Gabbert and Brandon Weeden etc are awesome prospects and we're just being negative.

Really, every year the QB prospects aren't elite prospects, great QB prospects are rare, stop trying to act like we're just ******** on them for no reason.

How many of the QBs that the majority was negative about are actually really really good QBs?

The problem is that on this forum, guys are either future Hall of Famers or the next Ryan Leaf. There is no middle ground, ever.

Take Matt Stafford. Either you thought he was a ******* God-Tier QB prospect or he was erratic, overrated, inaccurate, QB with nothing but a strong arm. The truth was somewhere in the middle. He's been both of those guys in the NFL.

I don't think I've ever seen a QB who wasn't jumped all over prior to the draft, not one, so I guess you could say every QB in the NFL who is really, really good. Hating QB's prior to the draft seems to be the norm as far back as I can remember, even after a year or 2, many are still lambasted although people have short memories. Eli, Alex, etc. etc.

And Mark Sanchez amirite?

Really though, you're as bad as the people who hate every QB prospect, but for the opposite reasons. Nobody can take your opinion as objective, because I don't think you've ever seen a projected 1st round QB you didn't fall in love with.

seems like a real crapshoot this year - much like in 2005 with Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Jason Campbell, Charlie Frye, and Andrew Walter - except those guys all had great senior/junior years. Barkley, Smith, Wilson, Glennon, etc. are all disappointing this year compared to expectations. Not what I want in a QB my team drafts with a high pick.
